Key takeaways — fiscal 2025 in one paragraph#
Williams‑Sonoma [WSM] closed fiscal 2025 with revenue of $7.71B (-0.52% YoY) while delivering net income of $1.13B (+18.97% YoY) and expanding gross margin to 46.45% (+3.83ppt YoY) — a margin-led outperformance funded, in part, by aggressive buybacks (common stock repurchased $807.48M in FY2025). Free cash flow softened to $1.14B (-23.56% YoY) even as operating cash generation remained healthy at $1.36B; the company finished the year with $1.21B cash on hand and a modest net-debt position of $134.3M. These facts frame the central narrative for [WSM]: the firm is converting stalled top-line trends into outsized profitability through mix, pricing and capital allocation — a structurally attractive but cyclical profile that leaves the stock sensitive to revenue momentum and guidance.
